A quick ifconfig eth0 up followed by dhcpcd eth0 gets it going. So as a temporary measure I can place these commands in rc.local - must do that as soon as I have sent this - but what I need to know is what is hotplug doing to upset things? The strange thing is that it all worked fine with the old modem. Any ideas?
The hotplug bit is strange but I have found that some 802.11g wireless routers/AP's are a bit fussy when it comes to connections from some 802.11b kit. I had a laptop in the office the other day that had a 802.11b Intel 2100 miniPCI card and every 30 mins or so the connection would momentarily drop despite being well within range (and showing good signal strength).
